Not to nitpick, but the Pirates were up 3-2 in 71. They did come back from being down 2-0, though.
The Pirates are the only team from WS opponents that I despise passionately, along with the Yanks and Red Sox in general.
I used to hate the Mets, but for some strange, unexplainable reason I lost much of that hate after seeing the movie 'Frequency' with Dennis Quaid. Yeah, I know it's just a stupid movie, but for some wierd reason I can't hate them as much anymore.
